This book chronicles the history of the struggle to promote a
self-governing body for the teaching profession from its early
problems at the start of the twentieth century right through to the
establishment of the General Teaching Council of England in 2000.
It also explores the interest groups and policy makers who impeded
its achievement and the attitude of teacher unions and the teachers
themselves to the establishment of such a body.
The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and
historians, as well as postgraduate students.
Life in the 1930s and '40s on the small family farms in eastern
Iowa was threadbare and tough. It was made endurable by the web of
humanity spun by the men and women who built their lives there. The
land itself seemed indifferent to its relentless exploitation and
yet people, towns, farms and landscape endured in some fashion. The
best parts of the farm stayed with Richard Willis when he left,
while the rest is long gone. "Long Gone is a perfect title for this
remarkable memoir that strips away any fantasy of an idyllic life
"in the country" and shows the passions, backbreaking labor and
violence of the hard won life lived on an American farm in the
middle of the twentieth century. But "long gone " can also be
applied to the writing of Richard Willis. The extraordinary scenes
he paints and characters he evokes are indeed very rare to find in
this century." Patty Dann, Mermaids,
This comprehensive anthology provides an overview of current approaches, issues, and practices in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages. Containing a broad collection of articles published primarily in the last decade, it illustrates the complexity underlying many of the practical planning and instructional activities involved in teaching English. These activities include teaching English at elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels, teacher training, language testing, curriculum and materials development, the use of computers and other technology in teaching, as well as research on different aspects of second-language learning. Organized into 16 sections, the book contains 41 articles by well-known teacher trainers and researchers. Also included are two sets of discussion questions--a pre-reading background set and a post-reading reflection set. The anthology serves as an important resource for researchers, M.A. TESOL students, and teachers wishing to design a basic course in methodology.
